teaching riddles year 2

hi, next week I need to do a week (probably only 4 days actually) on riddles in prep for the SATs after easter. I'm an NQT in yr 2 and don't really know how to go about it! The kids have researched a minibeast to use, but what activites can I do apart from just writing the riddles themselves? Need maximum impact in a short amount of time! Obviously for my highers, the structure of the riddle will be a focus e.g. start of with a clue that gives hardly anything away but I'm not sure what whole class activities to do throughout the week as it seems quite boring? My brain hurts and I can't think - any ideas from people who have taught this before are really appreciated!!!

he hamilton Trust has some brilliant plans which I'm using soon. They provide a few days plans on riddles and even provide a bank of poems and riddles for you to use. You do nee to pay £12 for a yearly subscription to the site but it's got some fantastic plans and resources on!

WOW!!!!! A million x thank you.
Since returning to work after maternity leave I am really struggling to get my head around the new teaching frameworks, strategies and techniques. I've read through the planning suggested and I can truthfully say for the first time this year I feel confident- THANK YOU
